Linguistics is the systematic study of human language. The broad, interdisciplinary Cambridge course offers options covering a wide range of linguistic subfields, and draws on methods and knowledge from other disciplines including philosophy, physics, engineering and psychology.
Information about the course structure, departmental teaching arrangements, offered topics and options can be found on the University of Cambridge website: Linguistics Course Outline
Queens’ is a fantastic environment to study Linguistics in. With a dedicated, in-College Director of Studies, you get a more finely tailored program and a real chance to explore what you’re interested in.

The Linguistics community at Queens’ includes undergraduate and postgraduate students, a dedicated in-house Director of Studies, plus a number of Modern and Medieval Languages students taking Linguistics papers.
Queens’ is unusual in offering in-house, one-to-one supervisions alongside Faculty-organised supervisions, as well as training sessions on logic, individual languages, language contact etc. When students arrive at Queens’ they receive tailored sessions on how to write Linguistics essays and a yearly plan. With the aid of the Director of Studies they will also devise a more aspirational, long-term study plan for the entire duration of their studies.
Reading groups on different themes such as ‘Historical Linguistics Seminar’, ‘(Ibero) Romance Linguistics Seminar’, ‘Greek Dialectal and Diachronic Reading Group’, and ‘Lexicon-Syntax Interface Seminar’, are organised exclusively for Queens’ students. We also organise international conferences and workshops at the College, in which students have the opportunity to participate.
